When destroying an explosive crate in gameplay, it releases a small explosion that deals one hit worth of damage to all enemies in the near vicinity. However, the player is unaffected of the explosion, meaning they will not take damage. The explosive crate is very fragile and will detonate if hit by anything, so it must be handled carefully. Additionally, the explosive crate is useful for gaining extra points; if the player detonates it inside a cluster of enemies and it manages to take them all out, the player will earn bonus points.

In Sonic's version of [[Radical Train]], Sonic must rescue a train before it crashes into a bomb consisting of a pile of explosive crates that blocks the train track. The player needs to activate a [[Switch]] to destroy them, as they are blocked from the player's attacks by a [[laser field]]. During Shadow's stages, however, the Explosive crates sometimes serve as obstacles when the player is riding a vehicle. Ramming into an Explosive crate with a vehicle will make it explode and deplete the vehicle's [[Health Gauge]].

In the [[Xbox 360]]/[[PlayStation 3]] version of ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'', the explosive crates look much like wooden [[Container]]s, except they have a red burst-like symbol on their surface. They appear only in a few of the game's nighttime [[Zone|Action Stages]]. In addition to detonating it by attacking, the player can [[grab]] it by pressing {{Circle Button (PS)}}/{{B Button (Xbox)}} and then throw it at enemy who has a reticle over it.

The explosive crate is an especially effective weapon against [[Big Mother]]s. By throwing the explosive crate into a Big Mother's open mouth, the beast will swallow the crate as it explodes, causing its body to comically expand and deal it damage while stunning it.
